From the editor,
Based upon current inflation, gas prices have yet to spike as high as they did in 2008.
I remember that year well. We logged countless miles, at $4 per gallon, back and forth to the hospital in Dallas.
We had a sick preemie who came close to death more than once in his young life. He had a dozen surgeries that year.
Before the year ended, we welcomed preemie twin girls who had complications of their own.
I was making a fraction of the salary I am now and Jennifer was unable to work. Things were tight and times were scary.
I remember being unhappy about gas prices, but it was the least of our worries. We got through it and things leveled out.
We are blessed, this time around, to not have much else to worry about besides the price of gas.
We are happy. We are healthy and we are safe. Everything else will level out again. It always does.
